Page 21 - Crosman Premier .22, .22 Reviews

Accurate, good knockdown power... Broke through 1/2 plywood at 30 yards, although plywood is rotting a little bit...

hardly anything...

their were a few flattened skirts, the lead that they are made of is softer than any other of the pellets i have.... Some have a few mold lines that could be trimmed....

These hollow point pellets works extremely well; they are the boom! I shoot some in my Marauder .22 and it seem to really like them. I was able to bust walnuts at 40 yards or so. The price of the pellets seems to be reasonable. I will buying more of them for the squirrel season.

nothing

Give them a try, your gun may like them.

Accuracy, power at impact, value.

Lots of power/lead on my fingers after shooting 10+ pellets. Would be nice if they were cleaner (but maybe this is needed to help reduce friction in the barrel?)

I'm using this to control squirrel population and consistantly getting one shot kills in my RWS Diana 34P. A great pellet!

Great value on a consistant pellet.... Right on target.

Dirty fingers....

POI may change with each tin... Do not mix tins.... Shoot from one tin at a time...
Just ordered another 4 tins.... "Muzzle Mack"

The wost pellets ever bought.

Neck tolerances.

Some would not fit into the bbl of my RWS 52. Others would fall right thru and cause a dry fire. Avoid this pellet !

Very consistent and easy loading. Screw on tin lid. Nothing exotic... straight shooting and simply priced right.

Prepare for dirty fingers...

Great consistancy at 700+ fps. Spent last Sunday shooting at and hitting spent 12 guage shot gun shells at 85-100 yards with my custom HPA 2250's

Muzzle Mack

These pellets are very accurate, and never deform due to the material the lead is mixed with; making them harder than the average pellet. The other wierd thing about these pellets is the way they mushroom. I noticed that when this pellet meets its target the head will becomes condensed(it will smoosh together) and in doing that fill the center whole. This is different than any other HP pellet I have seen, but still works. So these pellets for the price and quantity are a amazing value.

A bigger expansion cup?

These pellets are from what I've seen some of the best hollow points.

better buy it b4 crossman realizes that they made a perfect hollow point for 950+ fps air rifle for cheap price. 1 out of 50 come in loose skirt. perfect fit in my condor with noise supressor.

if you want a round nose hyper velocity out of this pellet, a drop of candle melt at the cup to compensate wind factor and fps.

60 yards, crows and squirels got no chance aimed dead center. duck season head shots at 40; well, you gotta have a condor rifle firstly with suppressor mod.

Great pellet for the price. These shoot extremely well from my Benjamin Discovery. The consistency of the pellets appears to be very good. Overall I am very happy with these pellets. ATTENTION PESTS... There's a new pellet in town!!!

It would be nice if the expansion cup was a little larger.

Of 9 different pellet types, these shot the best in my BSA lightning XL. 3/4 inch groups at 30 yrds from a bag rest was easy. The PREMIERS had very few flyers.

I read so much about the JSB EXACTS that I expected them to shoot the best, but the premiers were much more consistant. PYRAMYD'S packaging was top-notch, I didn't find any dented cans or deformed pellets. These are worth a try in any airgun.

Seems to be very consistent sizes based on my "feel" when seating a pellet. Shoots really well in my Crosman Quest 800. One hole groups at 10 Meters.

I don't really think the tiny hollow point helps expansion much. These pellets blow right through 1/2 exterior plywood from my Quest 800 at 10 meters. I'd eliminate the hollow point in favor of a regular doom shape head.

These are excellent long range pellets in my Quest 800. With plenty of penetration down range in spite of the hollow point design.

This is an excellent hard hitting and accurate pellet.In my opinion the crosman premier and the JSB diabolo are the two best and most consistent weight pellets around ! I am shooting out of an Air Arms S410 XTRA FAC.

The fact that its dome shaped as well as hollowpoint

Make the pellets better quality and improve the size/shape distribution.

The pellets are very very dirty. Size distribution is very inconsistent.

Nice and consistant in all my 22xx customs .22 Cal AG's

Nothing

Everything. Price is excellent, accuracy is very good and the screw on tin is helpful. Can't beat the overall value (price, quantity and quality).

Nothing about this pelet in general, but I would like to see the same pellet in just domed without the hollow point and similar price range.

This is probably the best ammo deal you can get and still end up with quality pellets.

great pellet... one shot kills on squirrels with my super streak, consistent shape size and weight

wash them before they leave the factory and dont put that graphite like coating on them

i noticed a couple pellets with the expansion cups a little off center otherwise ya can't go wrong with them

I too have the RWS .22 Panther and these pellets shoot the best. They also are the most efficient that I've found in this gun. I get about 16.5-17 ft lbs (735-745-fps). They seem to group as well if not better than JSB's 15.8 grain pellets and shoot no differently than the more expensive CP's. With a little practice I am closing in on groups a little bigger than the size of a quarter at 35 yards.

Tend to give off more lead dust then other pellets, but really what can you expect? Just be sure to wash your hands well after use.

I think these pellets are mixed with some alloy to make the lead a little bit harder. Therefore, I've found that they don't expand quite as well as some of the other round nose pellets. They give penetration that is on part with some of the pointed pellets.
Like all airguns, even of the same make and model, test a variety of pellets before you decide upon the accuracy of your gun. I think that you'll find these pellets to perform very well at their current price point.

Gave me a very pleasant surprise to see my shots at 10 yards start grouping rather tightly after switching from Daisy .22 pellets that shot all over the place. It seems that my RWS 34 Panther .22 loves this pellet. The price is very reasonable.

Make pellets cleaner. Tips of my fingers were black after shooting a few pellets.

It's cheap and good for plinking.

Different pellets work better on different air-rifles that's kind of the rule of thumb in this hobby. For me not so good they are very dirty, turning my fingers black and the skirt is too short to give good BC in my model 34. The worse part is that I used these to scope in and I could hit any pest, I was worried that it was the main spring but when I tried using other pellets that they all shot fine and much higher than the Crosman.

Screw on lid means screw it on, don't snap it. It'll take a hammer to get it open.

It is as hard as steal

Make a true lead version of it that mushrooms

This pellet hits like steal. Do not expect it to mushroom EVER. But do not let this stop you from buying this pellet as the groups at 40 yards are nickel size & the price is great. I kind of like the fact that this thing will not deform as the penetration is great.
